If you're going on the weekend, it will be crowded especially on the student side of Dutch Springs so head to the Peninsula / Aqua Park side.

After they've scanned your ticket/pass, drive through the gates, once through the gate turn right which leads to the Peninsula/Aqua Park side. If you turn left you will head to the student side which has bodies and tarp every where.

You cannot park by the water but can unload your gear and tanks on any of the picnic tables by the water before moving your car up to the parking lot by the bath house and concession food stand. Depending on what attraction you'd like to see will determine which entry/exit point you'll use. There is a map on the Dutch website but someone recently posted a great updated map of the attractions with coordinates.

Let me see if I can find it and I'll post it here unless someone else has one handle to post.
